The recipe for Soylent Green should be common knowledge among humans...it will be useful one day....within some members lifetimes.

As far as a throttle detent keeping you from using WOT...anyone getting in either of my vehicles without knowing that there WAS a detent spring...probably wouldn't even notice them.

I only post something like this so anyone who has the sense to use one might get the idea to do so...not to argue about the obvious. As far as the alien persona...hey a guys got to have some fun...eh?

I've mentioned the detent spring idea several times before the recent installs...and have gotten about the same responses from maybe the same people...not as much "doing" as talking?

I had a 99 jag XJ Vanden Plas at the same time I had my infiniti Q45. Both had MPG meters built in. But the jag seemed to have a tighter spring on the gas pedal than the Q. It made sense to me as the jag was a much more sedate car that the Q.



AND what's the crap about a "persona"........are you OR arent you an ALIEN??????



I am so confused.......



First somebody claims before Christmas that Frank Lee isn't a Redneck.......


then the damn Alien claims to have a persona.........


what is this forum comin to????????

Ok, before the confusion keeps going, I just want to make it clear that I am NOT a religious figure.

I see how one could be confused about my divinity, but I assure you all, I'm not that guy.

The simpler, the better.

Yeah, it is very simple, but nobody thought of it before.

And, it produces results.

Good!
